Hi everyone,

It looks like the discussion on the name is dying down, so I'd like to
summarize what I think we've heard here:
1. There's no clear favorite out there. In addition to the two ideas we
put forward (Pending Revisions and Double Check), there's been quite a
bit of discussion around

Hi everyone,
As William alluded to, a bunch of us have been studying the user interface
for Flagged Protections and figuring out how to make it more intuitive.
In trying to solve the user interface problems as well as generally figuring
out how we're going to talk about this feature to the world
Might help to sum up what exactly it does or how it's used (2-4 bullet

haven't followed the lengthy debate, are up to date on it.

It turns out that filters out quite a few names (including Flagged

advantage of clearly communicating what we envision this feature
will be used for (i.e. enforcing a double check from a very broad
